Installing Controller Batteries

Installing Controller Batteries
Two battery packs, part number 1420-0532, must be installed in each controller module before the module
can be used. Two battery packs are shipped with each new controller module. In the disk array shipping
carton, the batteries are located in a cardboard sleeve next to the array controller. If you are replacing a
failed controller module, first remove and use the battery packs from the failed controller module in the
new controller module. To install the controller battery packs, do the following (see Figure 14):
1. If the battery cover latch is not already removed, press down on the battery cover latch.
2. If the battery cover latch is not already removed, remove the battery cover latch and then remove the
RFI shield (if necessary, you can use a flat-bladed screwdriver to remove the RFI shield).
3. Install both battery packs, and connect the cables as shown.
4. Reinstall the RFI shield and the battery cover latch.
CAUTION! Make sure you reinstall the battery cover latch carefully, so each of the locking
tabs (see Figure 14, View 5, Items 1 and 2) slide beneath the battery compartment. If the
battery cover latch is not secured properly, it could prevent the removal of the controller
module once it is installed in the disk array enclosure.
After new battery packs are installed, and the array controllers are installed and powered on, about one
minute is required before the "Battery Discharged" message on the control panel disappears. About twelve
hours are required to fully charge new battery packs. During this time, a "Battery Charging" message will
be displayed on the control panel.
